Hi Russ and list!
Far as I can see from what I've read, the only advantage it offers is a
speaker. That only for the things the two devices handle in common. It
doesn't handle text, Word, HTML BRF or other non-Daisy marked files except
for Audible, which I believe it plans to support. I think they felt they
needed to have something for these conventions to keep their name out there
and that's what they've thrown together. It may be available now, but not
many Daisy books are, regardless of what device you choose.
Cheers,
Dave
